TIE outlook for the republicans of
Maryland is regarded as by no means
unfavorable. and if the administration
should withdraw its support from the
German machine, which the president Is
urged to do by class of advisers he is
wont to listen to, there is not question
that the republicans would carry the
state. liz the last presidential election
the democratic plurality in Maryland
was only 11,11S The prohibition vote
was 5000, most of which will go to the
republicans this year. The estimate of
the vote of the reform democrats, if
borne out by the result, would give the
republican ticket a majority of $4,000 in
Baltimore alone. The leaders of the re-
form movement are among the most
responsible men in the state. 1t looks
now as if the German machine can sue
ceed only by a free practice of the frauds
with which it is entirely familiar.

ONE of the most heartless and exacting
monopolies in the country is the Castle
Garden railroad pool. which has been
feeding fat on the poor immigrants. 1t

this year from passenger fares 81, 800, 900
and $4,000 for extra baggage. Max
ing the most liberal allowance for the
expenses of the pool in the garden.
$4,000. and the net receipts of the year
will reach $3.50, 900. This combination
Of railroads. maintained under the
spec,ous plea Of protecting the immi.

be any worse off if left to shift for them
selves on arrival. But protection can be
provided in another way that would be
quite as effective and far less costly to the
immigrants, and the investigation will
have accomplished much il 1t shall result

Whom do They Represent?

Eleven members of the council have
deliberately placed themselves on record
in favor of anarchy and public disturb
ance. Under the leadership of Isaac S.
Hascall, who has on former occasions in
cited lawlessness and abetted infamous
conspiraces against the taxpayers and
citizens of Omaha, they have adopted the
following resolution:
That the city clerk be instructed to notify
the pretended appointees upon the police
force to desist from performing any service
under the pretended appointment of the
board of fire and police commissioners, as no
funds will be provided to pay for any ser
vices rendered by virtue of such pretended
appointments, such notice to be given to the
pretended chief of police, the pretended cap.
tains and sergeants of police, as we'll as the
pretended policemen.
What is the object of this resolution,
and what will be the natural consequence
of its adoption?
The chief and members of the police
force are notified officially by order of
the council that they have no authority
to exercise police functions. and that
every arrest made by them will be un-
warranted and criminal.
If the present police force has no
authority to quell disturbances and ar
rest law breakers in the city, Omaha is
practically remanded to the mercy of
highwaymen, crooks, pick pockets and
drunken rioters.
The council has made no provisions for
a police force to take their
| places, and even Hascall, the
crafty chief conspirator against the
public peace does not pretend that they
have such authority. What right have
these eleven councilmen. whom the char
ter does not clothe with any authority
to appoint policemen or manage the pO.
lice force, to serve notices on the police
to desist from performing their duties.
Whom did these eleven councllmen
represent when they voted 10 precipi.
tate anarchy and public disturbances
in Omaha? Did they or any one
of them represent the taxpayers and clti-
zens that elected them! Is there single
ward in this city that has ever given pop
ular countenance or support to the star
vat,on and anarchy policya Whom do
the eleven councilmen represent, except
ing the thugs, thieves, crooks, footpads,
professional gamblers, keepers of low
| dens and habitual law-breakers?

VIII They Unfold Bechel2

The Pacific Express company is pub
lie carrier, and as such, the conduct of
its officers is a matter of public concern.
AS long as its auditor, Mr.. Bechel, be-
haved decently and did not trench upon
the rights of taxpayers by open collusion
with conspirators against the public
peace, nobody found fault with his ac-
tivity in local politics and public AFFAIRS
Respectable citizens of Omaha have
felt keenly the disgrace which attaches
to this city by the notorious recent de-
baucheries OF Mr.. Bechel which dragged
him down 20 the level of the bar-room
loafer who has to be conveyed in the
police patrol wagon. The constituents
of MIR. Bechel of the Fourth ward, com.
prising for the most part our heaviest tax
have patiently forborne the outrageous
Misrepresentation of their wishes and
interests. But every citizen who is not
in sympathy with lawlessness resents the
attempt OF Mr.. Bechel to precipitate an
archy and riot in this city by wanton in
reference with the police force, at a
time when thousands of visitors are ex-
pected in our midst.
If this course on the part Of Auditor
Bechel, of the Pacific Express company,
meets with the approval of Its managers,
the citizens of Omaha want to
know that fact. That company
enjoys and expects protection from
orr police at the expense of the taxpayer
and if 1t encourages conspirators against
the public peace and holds in high places
men who consort with roughs, rowdles,
and habitual law-breakers, and upholds a
policy that invites public disturbance.
the business men of Omaha will know
how to treat such q corporation. There
is no use of mincing matters. The gen
eral officers of the Pacific Express com.
pany must show their hand now.

The Time At Hand,

The time has come for our reputable
citizens, and especially the leading busl-
ness men and taxpayers of Omaha to
give public expression to their sentiments
upon the assumption of the city council
to control the police force.
For four months the council has pur-
sued policy of obstruction and interfer-
ence with the police commission in the
legitimate performance Of its duties.
This has been tolerated in the hope that
the combination among councilmen
would fall to pieces of its wn weight
when some of the dupes who have been
playing the cats-paw for Hascall. Bechel
and Ford were gwen time enough to learn
what their constituents thought of their
conduct.
But pride, bull headedness and fear CT
Hascall have Kept these dummies IN line
with the conspirators who inaugurated
this ruinous policy.
That there is a deep.seated and pent-up
resentment against this policy among all
classes of our citizens goes without say
ing. The hot weather has been respon-
sible for the delay in giving public ex-
preston to this feeling.
The lawless action of the council in
interfering with the regular police upon
the eve of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie reunion and Omaha far, forces the
issue upon us. Action must be taken
promptly. Omaha taxpayers and busi-
ness men must voice their sentiments and
| wishes with no uncertain sound. The
BEE suggests meeting of the board OF
trade to which several hundred of our
leading taxpayers and business
men, regardless of membership or party
should be specially invited. The mayor
and council should be invited not as par.
ties to the discussion, but to hear and
learn what the most substantial citizens
OF Omaha think and desire. II after @
fair and full expression councilmen see
fit to defy public sentiment and continue
course so damaging to the reputation
of this city, other ways and means will
have to be devised to bring about good
| government.

the spiteful little plot to punish the BEE

jobbery and anarchy in city affairs
They have voted to make the Herald the
official paper for one week at the BEE s
contract rate, although the BEE under
its contract was required to do all the
official advertising for the city until a
contract was legally let. The Herald is
delivered in the city of Omaha by thir-
teen carriers to less than 1900 sub
scribers. The BEE delivers over 5000
of its evening edition in Omaha by
forty-fve carriers. its advertising
reaches fully five people where the
Herald reaches one.

The Food Supply.

There does not appear to be any fur.
ther reason to doubt that this country
will have an abundant food supply from
the harvests of this year, and that except
as affected by speculation there will be
good cause for tho prices of food pro-
ducts ranging materially higher than at
present. In the south the corn crop is
unprecedentedly large, exceeding the
yield of last year by over fifty million
bushels, so that it is thought the south
will this year be nearly self-supporting
as to corn. This will largely make up,
so far as the aggregate supply is con-
cerned, for the deficiency of the crop IN

He Beats Four Aces and Captures

John Taylor and John Condron, of
HALEY, Idaho, have created something
of sensation in San Francisco, not over
mining venture but the outcome of q
poker game. A. F. Davis, the we'll known
president of the South Pacific Coast rail-
road, had been the victim of sharpers,
end being drawn into the seductive game
was tleeced out of several thousand dol
lars, and Taylor, who is on pleasant
terms wth.the portly president, determ-
ined to get him satisfaction. The San
Francisco Chronicle thus tells how it was
done:
Taylor brought down from the Wood
river country mining superintendent
named Condron. who is no child at cards
and who can, in game of poker pro-
tect himself quite ably. Condron was
taken to the Maison Rlche on Dupont
street and wined. Then he was engaged
in game of poker. He soon succeeded
in breaking the amateurs who started i'll
with him. Then word was sent to one
Crawford, better known as doc" Craw-
ford, who was to vlctimize him.
Crawford is q character. He halls
from New York, and is a professional
gambler. He lived in San francisco
eleven years ago, and then broke nearly
every one who Samblcd in "a gentle
mans game" Then he disappeared, but
returned about ten months ago, since
which time he has been a prominent fig.
ure on Kearney street. He is prepossess
ing in appearance, faultlessly attired,
and suave to degree. He has op-
Grated the principal hotels, and has as
victims all the "ly" young men about

money, or goodly sums of it, and their
| distinguished consideration. upon the
great national game. He is skillful
| player and an expert manipulation. Hon

| conscience, if he has any, is conducted
| upon tho Goodyear plan.
Crawford obeyed the summons with
| alacrity. He was introduced as "Mr
jackson" and given a hand. The other
| players dropped out and Jackson -Craw-
| ford soon lost his cash. something like

This is absurd and wholly outside the

the courts decided, he should undergo
his punishment. If he was not guilty a
